On one of Twitter college football stat accounts, they had him the highest rated Big 12 Center.

What's honestly crazy about that is he only played the spot for exactly one year and already drew such high accolades. Pretty big testament to Dickey's work in insisting all of the O-line basically be able to play all spots along the line.

Oddly enough they were in this same situation almost the same time of year last year because two Juco signings weren't up to speed yet. So they moved Risner and inserted Navjar. It had its growing pains early but holy cow they molded that unit into a machine pretty darn quickly.

Its a blow, but sure does seem like they generally manage to find guys to step up rather quickly and well

I mean, we have tried the Matt Butler type thing at LB before and it's just a disaster. Take a fast dude who is kinda not nice and make him be a linebacker.

I lived across from Matt Butler a couple years after he graduated. His wife was very pretty, and reasonably outgoing gal. She used to come over if I was out on the front porch burning a heater, shoot the crap for awhile and go home. Always during the day though, never when her husband was home. One night my roommate and I were having a few beers on the front porch and she decided to come over and drink with us a bit. She said that Matt was out of town, so she was bored and wanted to hang out. Matt was not out of town, he came home about thirty minutes later, and I've never seen a woman so terrified in my life. She scurried back across the street and she never said a word to us again and we lived there for almost an entire year after that. I get the feeling that Matt might be the jealous type. There's your fall tidbit, you rough ridin' animals.
